Example of a topological space that is connected, not locally connected and not path connected

474 Views Asked by At

I know that "The topologist's sine curve" is an example of a topological space that is connected, not locally connected and not path connected.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topologist%27s_sine_curve

What would be another "simpler" example that meets these properties?

The comb space is an example with similar properties to the topologists sine curve... See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comb_space.

In particular, the deleted comb space has the properties you require...

Searching π-Base for (Connected + ~Path Connected + ~Locally Connected), we get:

Perhaps the one-point compactification of $\mathbb Q$ is the simplest example.
